If you want mortal users to mount MSDOS floppies, tho', you may want to
give /usr/ports/emulators/mtools a try :-) It also works for MSDOS ZIP disks.
this may not work, as expected.
i tried a few years ago (on freebsd v2.2.5-release and v2.2.7-release) to use mtools to do some stuff with floopies and it failed in a truely bizare manner .. sorry i cannot remember, neither do i have a floopy (that i can mangle - from memory) to test the how it failed mode.
maybe mtools has changed, maybe the underlaying mechanisms in freebsd have changed, all i ca remember is that if you needed to do stuff with floopies via mtools you need to be root to be assured of a reliable result.
just another data point

jonathan
